holidays

So it's about that time of the year where everyone is wishing everyone else a happy new year and we are all either taking stock or organising our new year's resolution lists...
Forgive me but I refuse to partake in rituals that having nothing to do with me. Yes, I have had a relaxed festive season, one where I have chosen to be with fewer energies, well actually the ones that matter have made an uber awesome time of this year"s festive season.

What I have learnt is that I have always known that I am not a pack orientated person so I have therefore lost all interest in things that require an "us" element friendship-wise, please note this excludes the when in a relationship aspect. It is so much easier to create your own happiness rather than to be present in the societal norm that leaves your soul debilitated after a season meant for rest.

The greatest surprise is that my bestest friends are happy whether we have spent time together or not this festive season and that is all that matters, that we are doing things that make us happy.

Euphoria is having old family friends walk through your front door without having announced their passing through, this for me makes me feel like i'm a little girl again and life is simple. Those truly were the best of times. I hope one day my kids, nephews and nieces and friends kids will know what I grew up with. May they  too be raised by a village that works in-cohesion.

I have had a lot of pleasant surprises and I thank the universe for all the love.
Lost a few wonderful people this year yet it was all in God's time so we will either shed a tear or pour some liquor on the ground in their memory, may the ones who have left earth be eternally blessed.

Light and love to all who pass through my writing rants, may the new year bring you peace love and happiness, may all things asked from a good space be answered.

Hopefully in the new year this space will grow and keep up with the times.
 To those travelling may travelling mercies be with you.

Dear Universe
Thank you for the lessons, love and light as well as the moments of utter craziness and zen.

aah amagoduka nkosi yam.... Bless the universe for the people who've made it home to bless my space.

Ke Dezemba Boss seems to be on everyone's  tongue lately.... Am I wrong for not being of this space? It feels like just another day of the week until I remember that oh, no actually the yr will end and a new one will begin ok, oh, well...

Happiness is not materialistic, it's not partying until the sun comes up even though that is fun sometimes, it's not about crowds nor is it travelling in packs to do stuff deemed fun...
Happiness is being, it's finding comfort in your own skin whether you're alone or in a group.... It's being surrounded by love in it's pureness and simply being aware of self and surroundings.

My Family is awesomeness from the blood relatives to the ones I've acquired through friendships or merely just bumped into in this life. The lessons are plenty.

On lessons I've noted Talib Kweli using the #lessonsfrom2011  and Lee Kasumba #thingsilearnt so we all get a little introspective around this time of the year...

 We have been places and have learnt from eye opening experiences. We are breathing in anticipation for the new year, some of us trying to play safe and not make plans that will change with a hat trick blink of an eye... WE ARE GROWN WHETHER WE LIKE IT OR NOT(as told by the aproaching year)!!!!!!!!


May the New year bring with it even more love and light, Zen filled moments covered in euphoric bliss!!!!
May we all be blessed with good health, wealth as well as spiritual tranquillity in our growth, may our minds be open to enlightenment. May our third eyes be open, may ourselves flourish and grow from seeds to ever lasting trees...


Bless you children of the soil.


a home is not a home without the warmth of those that inhabit it. 
May travelling mercies be with all those travelling throughout the silly season.

In my foolishness I forget I have followers making this space more about just dropping in when I can, really... What a surprise to get a message asking me: "when do we get pics with your blog?" I have toyed with the idea but never really thought of implementing it, so now I'm in debate as to what it will be: a yes or no or perhaps a culmination of both.... Yes No Maybe Oh well...

Dear Universe
I have left it in your hands.

In the hecticness that has been the past weeks I had an interesting conversation with a musician about our various crafts but more specifically what music does to the listener and how it can heal... I take my hat off to those who can relay emotions in a note, carry and build it up only to have it taper off in a candle whisper...

For a while I have not called myself a writer, ok maybe a lot longer than a while but hey... When I sit with musicians, those who can play instruments or those who sing, I find my spirit missing the conversations one has with an audience through their medium of choice for sharing.... Damn that's blessed. There is nothing more beautiful than a crowd taking in what you are giving and being moved beyond words as to where you have been in that moment, we all travel through space and time drinking from the same cup.
 Dear people who art
Thank you from the bottom of my heart for what you do.

Creativity is a wonderful space that the imagination inhabits bringing to life thoughts becoming the realm of possibility...
